FFS: Trump-Fluffing Video ‘Brags’ that He Doesn’t Take No for an Answer

The cretinous sycophants that surround Donald Trump have never been mistaken for Mensa members. They are a uniformly dimwitted Confederacy of Dunces, with an emphasis on “Confederate.” Their loyalty to an egomaniacal, pathological liar is the hallmark of the Trump era. And their cultish devotion to Dear Leader supersedes whatever passes for reason in their cartoon brains.

Donald Trump

One thing that can be said for the flock of Trump-fluffers is that have a profound capacity for persistence in the face of humiliation. No matter how embarrassing his behavior – or their own – they stand up to the ridicule with a seemingly endless supply of shamelessness. Which is convenient considering how often and how massively they lean toward the asinine.

For example, on Thursday Dan Scavino, Trump’s former White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Communications (a fancy title for a tweet wrangler), posted a video on Twitter intended to sing the praises of his beloved ex-boss (video below). It’s a pathetic paean to an imaginary superhero and the object of a bizarre infatuation. Unfortunately, the intended adoration got swept aside due the availability of an interpretation that was far more accurate than the one Scavino had in mind.

The video began with the words “There’s a certain kind of person who doesn’t take no for an answer.” And that’s right where most people would stop. That’s because there’s a perverse truth in those words that surely wasn’t what Scavino meant, but was impossible to dismiss once having heard it.

Indeed Trump does not take no for answer. Just ask any of the women who have accused him of sexual harassment and assault. Trump himself admitted that he doesn’t quit his unwanted advances in the infamous Access Hollywood recording where he proudly boasted about grabbing woman by their private parts.

But that’s not all. Trump also refused to take no for an answer when he clearly lost the presidential election. He insisted that victory was “stolen” from him. His Big Lie eventually resulted in the deadly Capitol riots on January 6th.

Trump also refused to take no for an answer when told that Mexico wouldn’t pay for his border wall, or when he insisted on keeping his tax returns secret, or when he wanted to lock up Hillary Clinton, or when he tried to repeal Obamacare, or when he sought to avoid being impeached – twice.

Trump’s tendency to refuse negative answers is not the character asset Scavino thinks it is. To the contrary, it is a flaw that marks Trump as an intractable narcissist whose psychoses make him an imminent danger if in any position of power. America, and the world, is better off for his having been ousted from the White House. And like or it not, Trump is going to be hearing the word “no” with much greater frequency going forward as his political and legal fortunes spiral ever downward.

FYI: Scavino deleted his tweet. Ya think he got shamed into it? I found this on YouTube.

Fox News Hits Hypocrisy Milestone: 50 Days Without Covering Biden Press Events

This article updates last week’s “Fox News Obsesses Over Biden Press Conferences – That They Refuse to Air.” Since then Fox News has made it a daily practice to count the days until Joe Biden holds a formal press conference. They already know that one will be held before the end of March, yet they continue to harp on the matter.

Fox News, Joe Biden

Fox News relentlessly aired every public utterance by Donald Trump for five years. His tediously repetitive cult rallies were staples of Fox’s programming. His Coronavirus Task Force briefings got live coverage, but only when he emceed them. His staged photo-ops, bill signings, and lie-riddled “chopper talks” consumed hours of Fox airtime. And it didn’t matter to Fox that Trump spent most of his press avails flagrantly lying and insulting the reporters.

However, now that Joe Biden is residing in the White House, Fox News has adopted an entirely different editorial approach to covering the President of the United States. While Biden hasn’t held a formal news conference, he has taken questions on numerous occasions addressing a diverse array of subjects including the COVID-19 pandemic, racial equity, climate change, healthcare, and immigration. But to date Fox News has not aired a single White House press briefing, which the Biden team has returned to doing daily.

On Thursday Fox News celebrated what they called a “milestone.” The historical landmark their “reporters” allegedly uncovered was that “Biden hits 50-day milestone of going without a formal news conference as president.” The truth is that Fox News hit a 50 day milestone of not covering Biden’s press events. What’s more, we know that when Biden does hold a press conference, Fox will be covering the “canceling” of a Muppet, or a sleazy pillow huckster, or some other ridiculous, politically partisan, culture war demagoguery instead.

Fox’s obsessive whining about Biden’s press schedule highlighted what they considered to be a critical point. “The report,” Fox News said, “also drew attention to aides who yell at reporters to leave when Biden finishes his comments, drawing criticism that Biden appears to need protection from probing questions.” That, of course is something that Trump’s press aides would never do…
